Abstract
El terrorismo es uno de los problemas más graves a nivel mundial, tanto por el elevado número de afectados que deja cada año, como por su incidencia a nivel mundial. España, lejos de ser una excepción, ha sufrido atentados terroristas de forma continuada durante décadas. Al analizar la literatura científica sobre consecuencias psicopatológicas de los atentados terroristas, se puede observar que el trastorno mental más investigado ha sido el trastorno por estrés postraumático (TEPT), habiendo sido menos investigados el trastorno depresivo mayor, el trastorno de angustia, la agorafobia sin historia de angustia y el trastorno de ansiedad generalizada. Además, la mayoría de la investigación previa se ha centrado en las consecuencias psicopatológicas de los atentados terroristas a corto, medio o largo plazo, pero no a muy largo plazo, es decir, 10, 20 o 30 años después de que los atentados terroristas hubiesen ocurrido. Es más, la mayoría de los estudios han utilizado instrumentos de cribado (screening) para evaluar la posible presencia de trastornos psicológicos, pero estos instrumentos son menos fiables y válidos para realizar un diagnóstico que las evaluaciones basadas en entrevistas clínicas diagnósticas estructuradas; por otro lado, la mayoría de los estudios se han centrado en las víctimas directas, los intervinientes y la población general afectada, pero casi ninguna ha evaluado las consecuencias psicopatológicas en familiares cercanos de las víctimas directas...
Terrorism is one of the most serious problems worldwide, because of the high number of victims that it leaves each year, and its impact worldwide. Spain, far away from being an exception, has suffered terrorist attacks continuously for decades. Analyzing the scientific literature about psychopathological consequences of terrorist attacks, we can see that the most researched disorder has been posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but major depressive disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia and generalized anxiety disorder have been less researched. In addition, nearly all previous research has focused on psychopathological consequences of terrorist attacks at short-, mid- or long-term, but not at very long term, that is, 10, 20 or 30 years after terrorist attacks. Moreover, most studies are based on assessments made with screening instruments, which are less reliable for diagnosis than the assessments made with structured clinical diagnostic interviews, and they have focused on direct victims, but not on relatives of direct victims...
